Lyne Robertson

Lyne and Robertson are two New South Wales areas with similar population sizes, but they offer very different lifestyles. Lyne is a more rural setting where separate houses are far more common (85.5%) and more people own their homes outright (47.1%). Residents in Lyne are also noticeably older, with a typical age of 51. In contrast, Robertson is more connected and urban, with far more people working from home (30.3% compared to 13.7% in Lyne) and a much higher number of weekly public transport departures.

Everyday life shares some common ground, as both areas have similar rates of full-time employment and almost the same share of people living alone. However, the gap in home ownership and age has widened since 2011. While Robertson has seen more people finish Year 12, Lyne has a much higher proportion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander residents (6.7% compared to 3.5%). This contrast is further reflected in the typical family income, which is well higher in Robertson at $2,087 per week.
